We are a group of journalists, including from the media website, allmediascotland.com.

IT has long been discussed, maybe even occasionally investigated.

Now, it’s time to put the talking to the test.

If you believe Scotland could sustain its own, standalone sports newspaper - with more pages for more sport, then read on…

Let’s first be clear: this would be a paper different to what’s already out there: no match reports, not even news, per se; more a celebration of what's ahead, not bound by any perceived hierarchy but how compelling the story.

It will showcase all sport, at all levels, and involve some of the country’s best-known writers plus several new ones that we will be seeking to nurture.

It would be a newspaper too that would pop through your letterbox - on a weekly, subscription basis - and include among its columnists names such as Judy Murray and Pat Nevin.

We have already our designers lined up for a pilot issue, the world-renowned PalmerWatson consultancy.
